"Lets (sic) get behind this Aussie Hero and help put an end to this S**t," the campaign's page reads.

"Harris, 28yo has been charged for trying to prove a point to the media about cyclists hogging roads when there are clearly goverment (sic) funded cycle ways in place for their safety and the safety of other road users.

Some say Thomas Harris is a modern-day Aussie hero. Picture: Facebook

"There needs to be a stop to cyclists ridding (sic) two abreast on roads where there are cycleways, and something needs to be done about these ignorant and 'uninformed' cyclists."

However, local Acting Inspector Lee Ingmire said the two cyclists - who happen to be his colleagues - appeared to be abiding by the road rules.

"Regardless of whatever the bicycles are doing on the road, it doesn't justify what the driver did," Insp Ingmire told the Illawarra Mercury.

"He's on the path like a good hundred metres before he approaches the bicycles. The bike riders haven't had the opportunity to drop back to a single lane."

Many social media users praised the driver for his expletive filled rant, with the Facebook page asking if anyone thinks he "deserves Australian of the year".

"He makes a good point. Why ride on the road when there is a perfectly good bike path," one person said.

"This accurately depicts what is wrong with cyclists and road rules," another said.

One commenter likened the act to "p**sing in the garden when you could use the dunny".

But not everyone agreed with the driver's actions, with some social media users slamming others for encouraging the abuse of cyclists.

"Mouths off but doesn't pull over when confronted. You're tough bro," one person wrote.

One commenter claimed the driver should have his licence taken away.

"Video of some cyclists legally riding on the road and some nob in a car illegally driving on a pedestrian/bike path," another said.
